The first time Viktor tried to get closer and intimate in that second episode where yuuri backed the fuck up and Viktor’s all “what’s wrong, why’d you run away?”

without context, that originally played out as Viktor seemingly dense about personal boundaries or just being completely unaware of the implications of his actions. Hence all the Tamaki parallels with OHSHC

but OMG just hearing the “why’d you run away” in the dub, fits perfectly with the person Viktor perceived Yuri to be in their first interaction that stupid yuri doesn’t remember. You can tell Yuri’s reaction surprises and confuses him, and sort of bums him out. Yuri’s acting like a completely different person than last time.

but we now know Viktor isn’t dense like Tamaki. He’s actually very attentive and selfaware, even if their behaviors are similar, the reason behind the behavior is vastly different

yurio was really brazen in his treatment of yuri in their first encounter with yuri crying

but to go from that to how violent he is when they meet again in Japan. Like, not only does yurio see yuri as this gutless wonder, he also has to completely blame him for viktor’s departure. He always seems to act like Yuri is controlling viktor, just cuz how forthright he was when he was drunk, but even then, Viktor’s never done anything he didn’t want to do. But even if he accepted that, he’d prob still blame Yuri cuz he’s the one who put the idea in his head in the first place

dub side note: I don’t think an English speaking VA exists who is anywhere close to the exact likeness of Junichi Suwabe. Even among english-speaking celebrities who never voice acted, I don’t think someone yet exists with those precise notes to his voice. which really is a shame
